Well done for that 39 in Round 2 yesterday, John! today's game: Round 1: 33 (didn't get: 1984, Blur) Round 2: 30 (didn't get: Pulp, Labi Siffre) 3-in-10: 3 (Tears In Heaven, Wonderful Tonight, I Shot the Sheriff)

'twilight zone' seems like a good call for the Ariana deluxe focus track as it has an ethereal 'we can't be friends (wait for your love)' style sound, which is of course the most popular song from the main body of work. She's releasing an accompanying short film later that includes all the songs from the deluxe so maybe they can put out an abridged music video from that

My instant standouts are ‘twilight zone’, ‘warm’ (“if you dare meet me there, I’ll be higher than the exosphere” 💙) and ‘past life’ (maybe my favourite vocal performance on the deluxe and those strings!!) The horns at the start of ‘dandelion’ caught me off guard but then it morphs into her most thank u, next sounding song since that era ended with the skittish trap production Surreal to see a song called ‘Hampstead’ on there Overall I think she went above and beyond for a deluxe tbh, some really beautiful work, way more satisfying as a fan than those undercooked positions deluxe track lengths Just remembered that there’s still an entire short film to devour that features all the songs, can’t wait to see how she brings them to life.

Going in now and omg, from that LQ clip of 'twilight zone' Ari shared all I could make out was that it sounded like it was from the same ethereal universe as 'we can't be friends'. Indeed in full it's like a cross between that and 'Save Your Tears' sonically!!

My CD and vinyl have dispatched too I've just seen pictures of the standard gatefold image and it's... pretty dark. So intrigued for this. Sorry to hear this, Julian! 🫂 hope things look up and that the Ari content will be good escapism.

Dune: Part 2 is the only one I've seen in the top 10 so far! I agree that it was more engaging than the first which was more world-building heavy. Spectacular visuals of course.

This is 26 minutes 11 seconds long! Her parents in the thumbnail

The credits for the new songs are out there! Ariana has written all the lyrics and both her and Max Martin are involved with production on all songs Ilya is also part of production on tracks 18 and 20-22, with Oscar Gorres part of the team instead for track 19. TOMORROW

Yay well done Rollo for the double 39 yesterday too! today's game: Round 1: 30 (didn't get: The Dooleys, Grace Jones) Round 2: 30 (didn't get: The Who, 1976 (one year out)) 3-in-10: 3 (Truly Madly Deeply, I Want You, Affirmation)

My votes are in!

I discovered Adam F's 'Circles' back in 2017 on a 90s top 40 chart show recording and fell in love so hard that I sent it to BJSC! However, I can't say that 'Where's My...?' captures the same magic. I didn't realise he was still having top 40 hits by this point, so today I learned. 'Shake Ur Body' is relentless - it was even used as Jive music on Strictly a couple of years ago. What a stomping D&B moment and I love the Latin flair too, a memorable intro. '4 My People' is my favourite of this batch 😍 I'm a huge Basement Jaxx fan and really appreciated these two worlds colliding in such a euphoric way.
